the band Summoning

[Mort Divine]

Summoning are clearly a black metal band. Not one of my favorites though, as they are beyond cheesy. Absurd, really. Any band that would sing a song in Orcish deserves nothing but scorn. That's as bad as a band of trekkies singing in Klingon.

If you want epic and beautifully magestic black metal, I would recommend Drudkh.

First off, no. They deserve praise.

LOL, win.

summoning is kewl

 

[J.]

Summoning is clearly superior to Drudkh.

 

[Enemy242]

I think of the new summoning as more epic and atmospheric than metal mostly but it does have black metal stuff too. also oath bound > new dimmu borgir.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Comparing Summoning to Dimmu is stupid. Dimmu isn't near the quality of summoning.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I like the new summoning, but its just not my thing.

Yeah fucking RIGHT. Summoning is one of the worst bands in black metal. Someone needs to break their keyboards, because they don't know how to play them.

[hibernal_dream]

Drudkh need to stop repeating the same riff 24849382 X over

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Summoning's songs are sometimes 2 riffs repeated for over 10 minutes so that argument is fucking pointless.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Yeah fucking RIGHT. Summoning is one of the worst bands in black metal. Someone needs to break their keyboards, because they don't know how to play them.

Yeah fucking RIGHT. Summoning is one of the worst bands in black metal. Someone needs to break their keyboards, because they don't know how to play them.

Someone needs to take away your ears, because you clearly don't know how to use them.

Stop trolling.

Sometimes using a little about of riffs makes the songs more epic and creates an atmopshere.

 

[Mercy/Severity]

Summoning is the best atmospheric band I've heard.

 

[Life Sucks]

I liked Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, but to be honest, I can't get into Oath Bound. They strayed even further away from metal, and the guitars are completely buried when they are present, serving as a background for the keyboard driven music. And the music itself sounds somewhat monotonous to me. I don't know what die hard Summoning fans think of this CD, and would be curious to know. Regardless, I will not pretend to like this CD just to sound elitist or impress the anus.com crowd.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I didn't know the anus crowd even liked Summoning, but I think they used the keyboards in a tasteful way with Oath Bound, and it seems like they tried to stay epic with less of a evil atmosphere with more of a viking atmopshere and succeeded.

 

[Cythraul]

Summoning is cheesy as fuck. The only album I can tolerate is Lugburz. The rest is horribly kitsch.

You have this the wrong way around. Oath Bound is far more centered on the guitar riffs than LMHSYF
